Long Auger Poems

My post-mortem may bear the stroke of your hand, in your lap,
On your knees with a single tear so priceless
That may fall on my cold cheek with power to revive, resurrect.
But not this time, not...

By Sashi. Prabhu(zeauoxian) 1/3/2012.

Often, I glimpse from my roof top garden, leftward,
From the sedentary swing but I know the descent of woodpeckers have soared.

From the vertical column sans  a crown of leaves  of...

Brutus Iulius Trois page 02

Where Trojans are there will be Troy
In Hesperia  the elder cousins the new Dardanoi 
the sons of Silvanus Dardanus shall inherit
and Lavinia's bloodline shall dwindle down  
caught by a...

The summer has long since faded
The sky seems eternally grey, 
A white carpet laid down on the landscape clearing the green grass away.
The house is chilly this morning, 
Out to the woodbox I go
When suddenly...

Climber
         by Odin Roark

Reality readied its chance
 
Ascent of an alpine face
Traversing ice and cold
Challenging steel axe and rope 
Such was the pulsating vibration 
Facing another dawn

That...

I solemnly received my first toilet auger
As if it were a knight’s well-tempered sword.
It meant I’d passed my ninety-day audition,
And seemed to me a suitable reward.

And so began my tenure working maintenance 
In the nasty...

Septuagenarian Serenade
By Sy Roth


It wants to warble a fine tune
It wants to fill the night with a pleasing glissando
Rising and sliding into joyful jig

Instead, the brittle vocal chords are ill-defined wolves
Howling at a laughing moon,...

Augur Auger 
David J Walker

It was all in the spelling
Actually
An e here or a u there 
And the foreshadowing’s 
Changed in strange 
Rearrangements 

After all, as a young augur
What was I to the grain 
Augered...

Lost in the divine languor of deaths sleep
Somewhere distant he heard the call of his name…

Barely sensing the avidity of life’s gift
Recalling the auger of the messiahs promise…

He rebuked the plea under the swathe of...

They proposed stabilization
Friction from the augers
Rotation
Caused one to ponder
Would such affect
Those ah yonder
Then in perfect diction
He said it as a predict
If thee surface of this
Slate should pop
It will create a lot of
Rocks
And if these rocks...

He greets the rising sun with a puff of black smoke,
Gritting his teeth against the cold and sending up prayers of hope.

On this tractor he sits all day, 
Never to stop unless something were to...

The 'now' matters...!

May you see and realise life, 'oh' dear,
without a cloak on any form of fear!
Out in the open - nay light and nay dark, 
existence alone that is clear and stark.

Influences from the records...

I walked the warm sands
earlier that day,
watching the tides 
ebbing, flowing,
gracefully like,
flowers swaying in a breeze.

sunlight’s aubade fingers 
caressed my face,
lending an air of gentility
to an already blissful morning.
A lone rowboat, wet with ocean saliva,
sat...

Off-beat pulse, echoed heart to part,
Separate slime of sweating art.

Body but a corpus, corporal careless muck,
Limbed flubber army legs lashing ‘gainst the yuck.

Mind but memory in meld with melted vision pours,
Trickles of tickled tactile tethers;...

He's back
My nemesis,
Billy Mays,
Never does he fail
To amaze

Now pushing "Zorbees"
miracle rag,
And as I watch,
I start to gag

He's taken Vince's
Sham Wow,
And made it his
Holy Cow!

He copied his ad
Near word for word
This blazing scuz-bucket,
This worthless turd

I want...

within a pock, a lonely copse
a one-time proudly standing duke
lay collapsed a pearly corpse 
strewn, now stretched across a dyke
no mortar, stone or brick to budge
a single chain links an area  
no sleeves rolled...
